Author's note : I know this chapter is kinda short, but before Ellie comes into it I wanted to do a chapter on her dad. So yeah, there wasn't much else I could do inbetween this chapter and the next. I am about to start writing the next chapter NOW. So yeah, keep reading. Thanks for putting it on alert or faves + stuff . Oh yeah, and reviews, please? If anyone has any ideas, or tips then that would be appreciated. Cheers. (:
My best friend is Brooke Davis. I have known her since I was 6. We always have lots of fun together and she cheers me up when I'm sad. She has a crush on the lifeguard at the pool. We always have to go swimming so she can see him. She also has a crush on Nathan Scott, the basketball player. The only reason she cheerleads is to watch the boys running round. She makes me laugh because she acts like she is twenty. She even got a pair of heels at weekend! She gets whatever she wants because her parents are rich. I'm not allowed to wear heels yet, my momma said I should enjoy being young before life gets complicated.

I went to cheer practice with Brooke. I wasn't sure I wanted to go because cheer reminds me of my momma, but Brooke said my mom would want me to go. We were both nervous because it was our first practice since the accident. The other girls acted weird around us, it was kinda awkward. I wanted to just go home but Brooke reminded me how hiding away from things would only make it worse. We stuck it out until the end and then we went back to Brooke's. I saw Brooke's mom for the first time in ages. She was in a real bad mood; she took Brooke in another room and told her (rather loudly) to send me home as soon as possible because I was emotionally unstable and she didn't want Brooke hanging around with me. Brooke told her to shut up because I was her best friend. I could never have told my Momma to shut up, but I was pleased Brooke stuck up for me. I don't like Brooke's mom. Neither does Brooke. I am glad my mom was so nice.

I really miss my Momma. I went to the cemetery today with Brooke. I wanted to just talk to her, but I couldn't get my words out. I just wish my Momma were still here. I miss her so much. I started crying, and then Brooke started crying. We were both just sat there on the floor sobbing away. Brooke misses my mom too. She was like the mom she never had. Brooke helps me through it though, she cheers me up and helps me see that I will feel better in time. She looks after me too. In school yesterday, this boy called Billy came over to me and snatched the crayon I was using out of my hand. I asked him to give it me back and explained I was using it and he could have it when I'd done, when he turned round and said "Shut up no-mom". So Brooke punched him. And she got sent home from school. Her mom went mad. I love Brooke very much. The three most important people in my life are Daddy, Momma, and Brooke. I don't need anybody else. As long as I have those people to help me through whatever comes, I will be okay.
